    Schrader Valve Leaks Gas

    Scary stuff. My Dakota is parked right now due to a gas leak on the top of the tank where the fuel line comes off the pump and makes a 90 degree turn to the front. Looks like the same basic connection and fuel line set up that the Viper has. I blame it on the Ethanol blend that causes these...

    VEC2 tuning issues. Not getting fuel???

    What year car? The fuel basket and outlet design is different in the later cars...aka on a stock system my 01 GTS had no problem with the stock fuel pump @ 8 PSI. Lots of duty cycle left with green tops as well. By swapping out the stock line with -an6 and aftermarket cleanable filter, my...

    Fixed my A/C for $4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I abitually always had the AC on the recirculating setting; i.e. recycling the cabin air back through the AC. My logic was that it would not stress the condensor as much leading to cooler & drier air blah blah blah. The other day I was experimenting a bit and tried the AC on the normal outside...

    2.8L Roe, GG heads/cam Build thread

    Fun stuff isn't it!!!!! I was terrorizing the central Florida backroads yesterday doing some long pulls in 5th at WOT. Hits 170 @5500 RPM pretty darn'd quick with 10 PSI boost, big w/m charge, and AFR's dropping in right at 11.9. I really like running w/m for so many reasons. Mike, I should...

    Weather stripping coming lose on power windows

    Exterior and outside stantion are one piece molded together during assembly. Its the impregnated metal pieces in the trim that separates from the polished stantion that causes it to come loose. The inside is a separate piece.

    Where does this weatherstripping go?

    Well...one wheel well should have it and the other side not. Should be pretty easy to tell unless one is totally missing and all ya got is one loose piece...unless that is what you just stated. I can't tell from your post what you mean.

    Weather stripping coming lose on power windows

    I have some pics of the finished project but they are too big to post. I can e-mail if you post a commercial e-mail account. When I had mine all apart, I took a good look at how it was designed and I can see how over time it deteriorates and comes apart. At that point, I was just going to...

    Weather stripping coming lose on power windows

    I riveted mine back on (a metal strip is embossed in the weather trim material) and covered the small heads with matching shiny black vinyl striping material cut in a circle just bigger than the rivet head (small circle punches work great for this). Matches the polished plastic stantion...

    Zaino users?

    Like Steve, I used it for years when I was a new owner, but got lazy as well. Now that I'm out of the product, I just use cheap-a$$ over the counter stuff and call it a day. I guess if you've got a really good finish and just have to have that over-the-top show look, go for it. But now that my...

    Reprint of inside door sticker?

    Probably falls in the same category as the visor sticker...LOL.

    Reprint of inside door sticker?

    My $02. Even the $125 sticker is a reproduction...just a better quality reproduction. That's all. At the end of the day, whatever you put on it is not the original...so who really cares.

    Fixed my A/C for $4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THAT is an excellent result! Maybe we should start a thread with "What's your AC temp?" I think I have something I can use to measure the temp....I sure as h$ll know its not in the sub 40's.

    Goodbye Gen 3... Hello Roe S/C Gen 2!!

    Good question. The things I changed on the base tune via SCT to run my #60 SIEMENS DEKA IV injectors weren't that many. A few fuel scalars and timing adjustments and I was off to the races..plus a two-bar MAP.

    O2 simulators hillbilly style........

    Take two of the metal foulers (just threaded pipe extentions in all honesty) and screw one into the other basically doubling its length...and then screw the stock 02 sensor into the end. It probably looks pretty ghetto having an 02 sensor sticking out about 4 inches from the exhaust... here ya...

    O2 simulators hillbilly style........

    Bingo! But back in 2006 or so I found an electronic 02 simulator that just wired into the left and right rear 02 signal wire and sent the PCM a steady voltage signal. It is the size of a small matchbook and I have it stuck inside the tunnel by the rear u-joint. I think it cost like $25 but I...

    Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest parts?

    Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa My 2001 GTS's rear toe link boots are torn and split...but it sure doesn't affect functionality. They might be able to recommend that they be replaced, but sure shouldn't fail an inspection per se. Worst...

    2.8L Roe, GG heads/cam Build thread

    Last summer with my 2.8H running the Weaver overdrive pulley and 2.5 blower pulley I made 16 PSI of boost (indicated) on a mildly ported ROE manifold. I was running about a 800ml shot of 50/50 W/M in the intake tubes and 18 degrees total timing. I made just under 700 rwhp and 800 tq without...
